Well it's certainly not as bad as you seem to think it is. Typical RPG isn't [i]bad[/i], after all there must be a reason why everyone does it. I for one like the idea of having traditional RPG elements/settings. I also very much like the idea of having realistically destructible armor, weather effects, and something like New Vegas' hardcore mode...

Hmm... Hollywood, how shall we deal with MP? I don't think anyone playing a mage-type wants to be micromanaging their MP quantity. Also, I imagine we won't be using premade spells for the same reason...

EDIT: Oh, and is everyone fine with death in-game meaning a death in real life? Or do we have to brainstorm alternatives?
